Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is a high-precision atomic time standard.

UTC has uniform seconds defined by International Atomic Time (TAI),

with leap seconds announced at irregular intervals to compensate for the earth's slowing rotation, and other discrepancies.

The leap seconds allow UTC to closely track Universal Time (UT), w

hich is a time standard based on the earth's angular rotation, rather than a uniform passage of seconds.

Time zones around the world are expressed as positive or negative offsets from UTC.

In this role, UTC is also referred to as Zulu time (Z).

U can check the FM

S391_GET_GREENWICH_TIME to understand the calculation

Technical Name: 0TCTTIMSTMP

Use

The characteristic UTC Time Stamp (OTCTTIMSTMP) specifies the time in the following long form: YYYYMMDDhhmmss,mmmm m m n.

The abbreviation UTC stands for Coordinated Universal Time or Temps Universal Coordonné and denotes the time, derived from atomic time, valid all over the world. This uses the 24-hour clock and the Gregorian Calendar as its standard.

Note that this time always relates to Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT.
